Abstract:     This invention relates to a multibladed (three or more) small diameter propeller as being included in an apparatus consisting of the single unenclosed propeller, extention shaft, armature shaft, and generator; such apparatus to be mounted on top of an electric vehicle to transform wind energy into electrical energy for feeding such energy into the battery pack as the vehicle is being driven forward; such energy to augment the stored voltage potential of the battery pack.

Family: None

First Claim:
Show all 4 claims
We claim:     1. A wind generator system comprising:
  • an electrical vehicle as a platform for mounting said wind generator system;
  • an unenclosed alternator mounted on a roof of said vehicle;
  • an unenclosed three-bladed propeller connected to said alternator shaft to face forward only and to provide a torque to said alternator shaft during an air movement created by said vehicle movement;
  • a battery charging system consisting of a voltage regulator, a two diode rectifier, and a battery pack;
  • where said two diode rectifier converts alternating current output from said alternator into direct current input to charge said battery pack;
  • where said voltage regulator prevents said battery pack overcharging; and
  • where said battery pack energy is utilized by said electrical vehicle.
